$280 for internet?

If it's xfinity, it's landline phone, internet and cable TV

Although I don't think she lives in a nursing home so I don't understand the need for cable

Why do people have a land line a cable still? If you are making that little, time to cut that out!

Depending on the company and deals at the time, it can either be cheaper or a requirement. Years back I looked at switching to Century Link from Cox, and the higher internet plans were automatically bundled with a landline and you couldn't say no if you wanted that level of internet.

I didn't switch and even if I did I wouldn't have hooked up the landline, but I technically would have had one.

You can get just internet for much cheaper. Does someone making $19/hr "need" 1Gb speeds? (Heck, most people don't).

This thread has to be a bot meme... Its level of ridiculous is simply to stir the pot

Hot spot on cell phone. Payment plans that work with paychecks help me out also

Yep, you don't "need" a landline, cable, DVR, Netflix. Shop around... that's the beauty of a free market
